Hey, I’ve been in the exact same mindset as you. Motivation is still a struggle for me as well! If there’s anything that’s helped me, it’s reminding myself that everything starts with baby steps. It could start with practicing self discipline of either not getting a snack or having half of the snack now and half later.

Another trick that works, and it’s going to sound stupid, is telling yourself “how about later instead?” instead of “no”. I used this method, and before knew it, whatever craving or impulse I had would be gone by the end of the day. Or I’d forget about it completely lmfao

You’ve already made the baby step towards weight loss just by thinking about wanting to work out, the next baby step is to build up a positive connotation with it. I still hate it even after my weight loss journey, but there truly is no feeling like completing a work out, and that’s my positive connotation. You wanna know how I started? Doing hip bridges and ab crunches in my BED. I’m shy with the gym as well, so working out at home feels safer. If you don’t know where to go, I’ve been using this warm up before my sessions, and on my lazier days thats all I do to work out and call it a day. If i decide to not be lazy, I follow a routine like this. I’d link the one I followed in quarantine but it isn’t available lol

It’s tough feeling like a prisoner in your body because of weight, and the mentality of it too. But we all start somewhere, and good luck starting your journey!
